Political Correctness Gawn Mad....blah blah
How often do we hear this from folks who sense that it's all a left wing plot to undermine civilization? I often feel that they miss the point....talk of "thought police" and "brainwashing" is mischievous and misplaced. You are entitled to your own private views on each and every issue ...BUT...in civil society we have agreed...often through changes in the law... on certain principles such as equality of the sexes...races etc.... people's right to their own sexuality... all kinds of things like that- so...in public life we treat people decently and properly . This necessitates thinking about how we use language...how we describe groups of people....how we avoid excluding or hurting people. It isn't that bad really folks.

Yes Richard and in four years time Wisbech Town will win the Premiership.I at the moment have too many people telling me how I should think and what I should do.What I should accept and what I shouldn't--where really I'd much rather live my life the traditional way by trial and error.Toomant 20 year olds sitting behind desks telling me the way i should think.At this point I'd like you to drop what you're doing go to the window open it up and shout to the world "I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND I"M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"
